F1 25's Standard Edition cover art features two multiple race winners and a rookie...?

Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton graces the Iconic Edition of the game.

It's very nearly time to meet the next chapter in Codemasters' F1 racing game series, as F1 25 will get its full reveal today, at precisely 16:00 GMT / 17:00 CET. Ahead of that, the developer has now revealed the cover stars for the Standard Edition of the game, as well as the Iconic Edition, and the former might surprise you a tad.

For starters, the Iconic Edition will be headlined by solely Mercedes-turned-Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton. No real surprise there.

As per the Standard Edition, the current latest F1 sensation, McLaren's Oscar Piastri, shares the cover with ex-Ferrari and now Williams driver Carlos Sainz, as well as the Haas rookie Ollie Bearman of all people.

This does leave a bunch of other names available to use in the other versions. Should we expect Red Bull's Max Verstappen to headline a Champions Edition for the fourth-year running, and then perhaps Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, and George Russell to feature in a Deluxe Edition of some kind? No doubt we'll hear about all of this and more at the reveal in a few hours.
